Operation Snowball

Thank you to everyone that joined us for our inaugural Snowball event on April 30-May 1, 2022!  Stay in touch!

Valley View School District (VVSD) OS Team was awarded the High Five Award because our team  has shown a strong connection to our five comprehensive program pillars: fosters youth/adult partnership, shows ability to adapt programming, highlights youth influence, supports social emotional learning and uses a community-based approach.

Our very own Student Director, Ari Mendoza, recieved The Youth Excellence Award seeks to honor and celebrate an outstanding OS youth who intentionally works to create a positive impact on their school and community. They are a role model for other students and demonstrate outstanding leadership qualities.

What is Operation Snowball?

Operation Snowball is powered by Heart Haven Outreach and is an international youth program that empowers student leaders through prevention education, community advocacy, and leadership development to create a positive impact on not only oneself but others as well.  The Valley View chapter of Operation Snowball is an adult directed/teen led organization assembled of teens from both Romeoville and Bolingbrook High School! We are much more than a drug and alcohol prevention group. We provide leadership training and opportunities to help prepare teens for college and beyond.  Teens will help put on a weekend event each semester compiling activities and topics chosen by the student staff based on prevention and mental health.

Snowball is a great place to:

• • • Make new friends
    • Spend fun time with peers
    • Have Fun
    • Participate in teen-led small group discussions
    • Discover something about yourself
    • Learn ways you can positively impact others
